Component Specifications

Definition
Fillers in silicone resin are particulate or fibrous materials incorporated into the resin matrix to enhance mechanical properties, reduce shrinkage, improve thermal stability, or lower production costs. Common fillers include silica, calcium carbonate, and alumina. They are typically surface-treated to ensure compatibility with the silicone polymer.
Working Principle
Fillers are dispersed into the silicone resin during compounding. They physically interact with the polymer matrix, increasing viscosity, reinforcing structure, and modifying thermal and electrical properties. Surface treatment improves wetting and bonding.
Materials
Fumed silica, precipitated silica, calcium carbonate, alumina, quartz, glass fibers, carbon black.
Technical Parameters
  • pH 6-8
  • Particle Size 0.01-100 µm
  • Moisture Content <0.5%
  • Specific Surface Area 50-400 m²/g
Standards
ISO 3262, ASTM D6050
